Just wanted to ask a question, i just bought superior 5.13 for my rubi and i went to local shop ask for quote for installation and their quote was pretty high. If you dont mind for you guys that have already had this done how much did you pay. Thanks for your help

 

it depends on your area.

I paid $175 per axle, but thats on the cheap side.

 

thats more like it the quote i got was 14hrs labor @ 63.50 an hour wtf

 

Mine with a rear ARB install was supposed to be just under $900. A little high, but is was a great shop who specializes in Jeeps so I it was worth it to me. $175/axle isn't cheap... it is a STEAL!

 

X2. I just paid a little over 900 for front and rear... Found a good write up that explains why it is so labor intensive and worth 900 bucks.
I will try to find the link and post it for your info.

 

There have been a few threads on this subject. It seems most "big name" shops charge 1200 to 1700 for the total job. This means you drop the Jeep off and pay the price and you pick the Jeep up with the job done including ALL parts and labor.

Some people have had friends install the gears for free and I've heard some people that payed $2000 for the entire job. So anywhere in between is possible.

 

Yea, that's less than I would tip. For that much, I could fly your guy out here, get the gears installed, take him fishing and send him back.

 

thats way beyond on the cheap side....damn I paid 800 the first time and well most know how that turned out for me

Its being done right this time though

 

come to nj where the loabor rate is 90-115

 

I paid $250 an axle....

All said and done it cost me around $950 for gears and install...
